Small self-directed ensembles

"Working with Katarina is like getting a taste of a unique mix of experience and enthusiasm, demands and benevolence that lead us straight to the simplicity and obviousness of a shared sound. (Ensemble Perspectives - France, G.H)"

How do you keep developing in an ensemble with no formal leadership? We have many thoughts and experience on this topic, both when it comes to evolving musically as a group but also from an organisational point of view. We have collected some of the topics below.

Prioritising which issues to approach

Rehearsal methods

Enhancing mutual listening

Encouraging shared responsibility

Exploring ranges of dynamics, timbres

Techniques for addressing intonation issues

Singer awareness of microphones and sound-board functions

Perhaps some of these topics sounds familiar and interesting to you? If so please get in touch and we can have a dialogue about how we could help in your context.
